The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has rejected the judgement of the Presidential Election Petitions Court upholding President Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 general election.
He made this known at a press briefing on Thursday evening in Onitsha, Anambra State.
“Yesterday 6th of September 2023, the Presidential Election Petitions Court finally delivered its long-awaited judgement on petitions challenging the outcome of the presidential election held on the 25th of February, 2023.
“As petitioners in this case, we respect the views and ruling of the court, but we disagree with the court’s reason and conclusions in the judgement it delivered.
“It is my intention as the presidential candidate and the intention of the Labour Party to challenge this judgement by way of appeal immediately as allowed by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Obi stated
